Uova alla Jova: a protein-rich breakfast inspired by Jovanotti

After attending a Jovanotti concert, I shared this recipe with the energy of his music still in mind. I first discovered it when my lovely patient Loredana asked, while we were discussing her meal plan, whether we could include… Uova alla Jova!

I had never heard of them, so it was the perfect opportunity to discover and adapt this creative dish, turning it into a balanced breakfast in keeping with a functional approach to nutrition.

A dietitian’s note

Uova alla Jova make a light, satisfying, protein-rich breakfast with a low glycaemic impact. Eggs provide high-quality protein and essential micronutrients, while dark chocolate (at least 70%) is a natural source of antioxidants. A lovely way to start the day with energy and support concentration and appetite regulation.

Ingredients (1 serving)

• 2 fresh organic eggs
• 1 level tablespoon dark chocolate chips (at least 70%)
• 2 teaspoons erythritol (or another sweetener of your choice)

Method

1. Separate the egg yolks from the whites.
2. Whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks form, adding a pinch of powdered erythritol. Gently fold in the dark chocolate chips.
3. Add one teaspoon of erythritol to the egg yolks and mix well.
4. On a baking tray lined with parchment paper, shape the yolk mixture into small circles.
5. Spoon the whipped egg whites on top, shaping them into little domes.
6. Gently brush with the remaining yolk.
7. Bake in a preheated conventional oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 12 minutes.
8. Serve warm and enjoy.

A creative breakfast that’s good for your body and your mood too—like a tune that stays with you.
